Bede, on Prov 20:14

“It is nought, it is nought, saith every buyer: and when he is gone away, then he will boast.”

“It is bad, it is bad, says every buyer, etc. Therefore, he who desires to obtain eternal rewards in the heavens must endure what is bad in the present, so that when he departs from the world, he may then glory; clearly perceiving that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed in us.”
